Redirect revert?

It is customary on Wikipedia to change links that go to a redirect-link to go directly to where the redirect would go. I made such a change, but it was reverted without explanation. Rather than get in to a revert war, I'm bringing it up for discussion here. If there is no response withing three days, I'm going to change it back to avoid the redirect.

The way this was originally, was that the article about the Amiga computer was at Amiga (computer) and Amiga was a redirect to that. I believe it is standard Wikipedia style that if there is an article called Article title (some meaning) then Article title is either an article about another thing with the same name, or a disambig page. It makes no sense to redirect non-paranthesised titles to paranthesised ones. Redirecting the other way around is OK, though. So the link for the Amiga computer should go to Amiga, unless someone can come up with other things named Amiga that are as notable as the computer. When you say the name "Amiga" to an European or American (who doesn't speak Spanish) then I don't think they'll ask you whether you mean the computer or the German record label.
